Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion - Year 2025, Vol 38, Issue 3
Abstract
[Objective] To evaluate the participation rate of voluntary blood donation among college students in China by meta-analysis. [Methods] CNKI, Wan Fang Data, VIP, Pub Med, Web of science and Embase databases were searched to collect cross-sectional studies on the participation rate of voluntary blood donation among college students from the establishment of the database to August 10, 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies, and then used Stata16.1 software for meta-analysis. [Results] Finally, 36 articles were included, with a total of 37 348 research subjects and 11 541 college students participating in voluntary blood donation. The meta-analysis results showed that the participation rate of college students in voluntary blood donation in China was 34.0% [95% CI (31.0,37.0)]. The sub group analysis results showed that the participation rate of college students in voluntary blood donation in different regions was 36.1% [95% CI (24.1, 48.1)] in the eastern region, 30.2% [95% CI (26.8, 33.6)] in the central region, and 35.1% [95% CI (31.0, 39.3)] in the western region, with the eastern region higher than the central and western regions (P<0.001); The participation rate of college students in voluntary blood donation during different research periods was 32.0% before 2020 [95% CI (31.4, 32.6)] and 27.1% after 2020 [95% CI (26.3, 27.9)], with before 2020 higher than after 2020 (P<0.001); The participation rate of voluntary blood donation among college students of different genders is 36.8% for males [95% CI (32.8, 40.9)] and 28.5% for females [95% CI (24.8, 32.2)], with males higher than females (P<0.001); The participation rate of college students in voluntary blood donation among different academic backgrounds was 26.8% for associate degree students [95% CI (23.1, 30.5)], 26.4% for undergraduate students and above [95% CI (22.9, 29.8)], with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05); The participation rate of college students in voluntary blood donation among different majors is 46.4% [95% CI (34.4, 58.4)] for medical majors and 29.1% [95% CI (22.1, 36.0)] for non-medical majors, with medical majors higher than non-medical majors (P<0.001); The participation rate of college students in voluntary blood donation among different grades is 27.7% [95% CI (24.3, 31.2)] for second grade and below, 33.7% [95% CI (26.4, 40.9)] for third grade and above, with the latter higher than the former (P<0.001); The participation rate of college students in voluntary blood donation among different household registrations is 24.7% in urban areas [95% CI (21.5, 27.8)] and 26.8% in rural areas [95% CI (22.1, 31.4)], with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05); The participation rate of college students in voluntary blood donation among different family attitudes was 43.3% in support [95% CI (18.5, 68.2)] and 37.8% in non support [95% CI (26.6, 48.9)], with no statistical difference (P>0.05); The participation rate of college students in voluntary blood donation was 35.7% [95% CI (27.8, 43.5)] among those who were aware of the blood donation policies, and 24.7% [95% CI (13.7, 35.7)] among those who were not aware, with the former higher than the latter (P<0.001); The participation rate of voluntary blood donation among college students was 47.8% [95% CI (34.5, 61.0)] among those who were aware of blood donation knowledge and 38.0% [95% CI (22.1, 53.9) among those who were not aware, with the former higher than the latter (P<0.001). [Conclusion] There is still room for improvement in the rate of voluntary blood donation among college students, and the government should plan the overall situation of blood collection, and cooperate with colleges and universities to play the main role of donation publicity, and correctly identify potential donors, so as to improve the participation rate of voluntary blood donation among college students and promote the development of voluntary blood donation.
